To ally-whom 'Iltvnuty/ncon'oern;

Be it'known that LBERRY A. BAXTER, e citizen of the UnitedStates of America, and e resident of Mansfield, Richland county, Ohio, hsve invented certain new midnseiul lim provements in Ovens, of which the following is e specilicetion.

)15e-invention relates to e new and novel method of constructing; ovens, and is espeeielly designed for stoves consuming ges for heet radiation.

VT he construction of ovens for stoves used in the consumption of gases is such that the burners are placed parallel with the .iront and beek wells of the oven :ind located below Stud et the center of the bottom. This arrangement does not give satisfactory results, es the hoo-tis not distributed over the surface of the oven uniformly. 'lhe ordinary oven is provided with two burners attached in close proxiiniY to each other end located below end et orehout the center oi' the bottom well. Therefore the heet is more insense et the center of the oven than et any other point, giving unsatisfactory results in its use, heen use the distribution of the heet is not uniformly und equally distributed.

M y invention consists in so constructing an oven es to permit of the hurner Loing secured under. dellector-Illetes attached to the wells oi thc oven. They ure secured 1o the side wells ,und extend purnllel therewith. This hns the effect of directing the course of travel of the ilziule from euch hurner toward the opposite hurnerunder the surlece ot the plates and towurdthe center of the oven, thence hef tween the top o1' the plates andthe bottom ol' the oven tothe llues communicating; with the upper compartment.

Another feature ol my oven the conven ience oi ignitinpr the burners without the use of u pilotdight."

l attain these und other objects h v the mechanism illustrated in the ncyoiupmrving drawing, which lutter is n. perspective view oi' my oven, the iront being broken nuny to show in detail i1 s interior construction.

Similar reference characters refer to similer parts of the drawing. Y

in the drawing reference-.fieuros 1 e, nd 2 represent the top and nottom ot the oven-freine, und reference-figures 3 und 4 the sides of the freine. The oven is composed of two comurtmentsf-(t, which is used for the purpose oll baking, and b for hroiling. The lowerl compartment b is provided with upright plates 5 and 6, pleoed on the bottom of the the freine adjacent to and extending on o, plane over the top of the burner toward the center of the oven, forming the lower compartment of' the oven und leaving e space between the ends of the deflector-pletes. A plete 14, preferably of U shape, with projectlotes in such e manner es to leave space 16 16 lor the purpose of communicetin with spaces 17 und 18, forming e flue for tile pessege of the gases end heat, which travel in the direction of the arrow into the upper coming ends 1 5 1. 5, is suspended over the defleotor plates 12 end 13 are fastened to the side of pertinent of the oven und out through the duit'or flue for the passage end circulation of the heut into the upper compartment from the lower compnrtment. 1t 'will he observed that the ends '15 of the plete 14 do not extend i, to the upper oven-wel To counteract the citeer. oi the heet upon the center of the plete 1.1, 1 stint-.h an euxiliary plete 21 overthe open soiree of the deflector-plu'tes.' An asbestos lining 21 is placed between the plates to more thoroughlyv equalize the heet radietion. iV An cxtru top 22 withl braces 23 is prog vided for the purpose of leaving en air-space ze to prevent the top from. warping. The l apertures 2.5 supply oir to the burners. When the burners ere in use, they ure ignited-et the l, point of combustion, the gasbeing supplied l through apertures c c.' The air for inlxing l passes through the apertures 25 tothe point 1 l l l aperture 19 to the chimney-liuc 19a. l l l l l.

oi combustion, and a. llame is emitted through the apertures 26 over end under the surface of the' deIlector-pla-tes to the ends thereof, from which point it is drawn backward lu.' the droit through the open s ace 16 16, which communicates with 'it en( forms l port of the 1lues17 und 18, leading directly oven, and out through the chimney-flue 19a. A

This arrangement provides a means for conducting the heat units into the oven and distributing and radiating the heat in equal and uniform quantities. and prevents the heat from bunching or concentrating at one point, as is. common in the use of the ordinary oven and burner. The apertures 26a in the plates and 6 permit the air from the apertures to pass into the lwer compartment b and mix with the gas conducted into the burners 9 and 1() and flowing out through the apertures 26 in the burner. Ordinary inlet-'valvesand mixers 27 are secured to the apertures c, proyided in the ends of the burners. l

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. An ovenv Jforl gas-stoves. composed of-a casing substantially `rectangular in form, plates secured to the bottom and vspaced a art from the side walls, burners secured'to t e sidewalls of the rame extending the full Width. of the side walls with the free ends resting on the ends of the plates, deiiectorplates extending horizontally toward the center leaving a space between their ends.

2. An oven having b ,urners fitted to the lower portion of the si/de walls of the frame running parallel therewith, plates secured to the bottom oi said frame formlng a support for the extending ends of the burners, deflector-plates attached `to the side wall of the frame and extending toward the center of the oven, a plate having upwardly-projecting ends secured .to the upper portion of the ovenfframe leaving a space between the bottom -surface thereof andthe top of the deends of the deilector-plates into the upper {lector-plates' Jforming part of a flue, substantially as described.; f I,

3. In an oven for gas-stoves, burners iitted to the lower portionfajid 'extending parallel with the side walls, de'flector-plates secured to said sidewall above-and adjacent to said burners extending cna plane toward the center leaving a space, between their ends, a

plate having upwardly-extending projections attaehed to the frame above said deiector-plate, said plate and deiiector-plates forming flues so arranged as to draw the flame of the ignited gas along the lower sur- 'face of the deflector-plates around the ilues and over the top into'the upper comparte.

ment.

.4. In an oven composed of two compart-v ments, burners fitted .to the sidewalls parallel therewith, deiiectors secured to said walls, a plate suspended above said delector-plates in such a manner as to forma passage for the gases and heat to the upper compartment, and an auxiliary plate secured to the center of said suspended plate.

5. In an oven, a casing, plates spaced apart from the side Walls forming a chamber, burners secured to the side walls and extending parallel therewith the full width, with their ends resting on the'top of the plates, deflector-plates secured to the side wall and extending over the burners toward each other leaving a space between their ends, a platr` attach -d to the wall of the oven and suspended ovcr'the deiiector-plates and in conjunc tion therewith forming lues for the passage of heat into the upper compartment.

46. In a gas-stove the combination, with a casing; of an oven, burners secured to the side w-alls of the casing extending the full width, plates secured to the bottom ofthe oven with their .ends adapted to support the free ends of the burners, delector-plates located above the burners, a plate suspended over the deflector-plates having its ends bent upward and terminating near the top of the oven, an upper compartment of the oven provided with orifices'for the escape of the products of combustion.

7. In an oven for gas-stoves, a casing, i

plates secured to the bottom, burners secured to the side walls with the free ends exe tending toward the center and restingpn the ends of the plates secured to the side walls, a substantially U-shape plate suspended over the deflector-plates forming flues whereby the heat is conducted under and around the compartment of the oven.
